Why should you start your own recruitment company...

If you're an experienced recruiter, billing pretty consistently, there's a very good chance you've considered starting your own recruitment agency.

You're working long hours, following daft rules, and getting frustrated by archaic KPIs, all the while watching most of what you bill drop into someone else's pocket.

Let us help you do it. Really do it. Not just work self-employed for someone else's brand. But start your own recruitment company and build it on your terms.

Here's why you should start a recruitment business

Money - A LOT more money. There's a big gap in earnings between even very successful employed consultants, and successful business owners.

Autonomy - Do it your way. Lose the counter-productive KPIs set by a non-billing manager with a Range Rover Sport.

Flexibility - Take your kids to school or make sure you don't miss sports day. Finish at 4pm, then make a few candidate calls in the evening when you can be more effective.

Enjoyment & Excitement - Forget the Sunday night dread. Love going to work again.

So, why wouldn't you do it?

Leaving an agency means leaving its brand, systems and momentum behind. Repeat clients can take time to rebuild, and your first-year billings will probably dip.

That doesn’t mean you’ve made the wrong move. It means you need a sensible plan, realistic earning expectations and people around you who understand what the first year actually feels like. That’s where our support matters most.

You don't necessarily have to start your recruitment business with our support (although you should – we're awesome). But if you've billed well in a specific market for a number of years, you should at least be considering setting up your own recruitment business.
